My sympathies to all of Della's family. I saw the notice in the Rockford paper.
Especially to you , Bev, I remember the many trips we made with your family to go skating at the Pines. It was a long time ago, but I still recall enjoying that. Beat the heck out of too much homework to get done! Thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this time of loss.
